FARO® Releases FARO Edge ScanArm HD with Fast Scanning Speed
FARO Technologies, Inc, the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announced today the release of the all-new FARO Edge ScanArm HD (Laser Line Probe HD). The power of the new Laser Line Probe combined with the flexibility of the FaroArm® creates the world’s most affordable, high performance contact/non-contact portable measurement system, the FARO Edge ScanArm HD.
The ScanArm HD delivers rapid point cloud collection with extreme resolution and high accuracy – all in a compact, lightweight and easy-to-use system. The new functionalities enable users to seamlessly scan across diverse surface materials regardless of contrast, reflectivity or part complexity and without any special coatings or target placement.
The ScanArm HD will be available for live product demonstrations in the Quality Assurance Pavilion at the 2014 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) at the McCormick Place in Chicago, IL from 8 – 13 September 2014 at booth N-6994.
“The ScanArm HD was developed to address the most pressing application needs of our customers,” stated Kathleen J. Hall, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Americas. “The ScanArm HD delivers high-definition data with superior speed and surface coverage at an affordable price, enabling our customers to reduce on-site measurement times, to scan very challenging materials, and to meaningfully improve their products and processes.”
The extra wide scan stripe and fast frame rate boosts productivity by increasing coverage and reducing scanning time. Intricate components can be captured in fine detail as a result of the 2,000 actual points per scanline and the new blue laser featuring noise reduction technology. Users can dramatically reduce required training time with the new crosshair feature and existing LED Rangefinder functionality, which provides real-time scanning feedback.
The FARO Edge ScanArm HD is the ideal tool for product development, inspection, and quality control and offers capabilities such as point cloud comparison with CAD, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling.
